As lots of you will be aware, Lancashire, where I live, is under threat of Fracking. If it goes ahead here it will open the gates for it to be done all over the country.
We have a group "Frack Free Lancashire" continually campaigning to stop this or any other area of the country having to suffer this dirty industry.
Currently we are fundraising to carry out a judicial review on the Secretary of States decision to overturn the local councils decision to not allow fracking to go ahead.

Conserving wild bees

Research suggests that bumble bee boxes have a very low success rate in actually attracting bees into them. We find that if you create an environment where first of all you can attract mice inside, such as a pile of stones, a drystone wall, paving slabs with intentionally made cavities underneath, this will increase the success rate.

Most bumble bee species need a dry space about the size a football, with a narrow entrance tunnel approximately 2cm in diameter and 20 cm long. Most species nest underground along the base of a linear feature such as a hedge or wall. Sites need to be sheltered and out of direct sunlight.
